• Just improved 5.0 to 6.0u2 vcenter.  How do eliminate you the web client certificate error?

  We were a vSphere 5.0 shop for many years and enjoyed the client c# 4.0, 4.1 and 5.0 then days.  We just upgraded 6.0 Update 2 this week and although always, we are primarally used to the c# client and will use it for a while to come, I am getting used to the web client for the new features that are available only in it, such as SRM and VR.

  I was able to click through the numours of screens of reminder to get via Firefox after all these certificate warnings and even easier just click the one or two things in Chrome or IE to get in.  But how could eliminate total certificate errors?  Example, now I'm with Chrome, but the https:// in the address bar is red with a slash through it.

  In most all other device based on web or connection we have, as HP iLO, Dell iDrac etc... usually, we create a CSR on this device and it present our internal Windows certificate authority and recover a file to go back to the device.  Is it possible to do this with the web client?  We have a certificate of 'Server Web 2' model that generates the sha256 return certificate and inherently all field devices to trust him because the area is important our root certificate authority.

  Also, we are running services such as replication vSphere and SRM, I would not change certificate affects only or same vSphere Update Manager.  We have two sites HQ and DR.

  I ended up getting rid of the cert errors by following this page: 6 replacement vSphere SSL certificate / implementation by using the Certificate Manager-automation tool

  I followed the procedures for "Certificate of Machine (Reverse HTTP Proxy) replace with certificate custom" and just that.  I didin 't' t mess with root VMCA with custom signature certificate certificate because its seems to me like he wanted to do an endless number of the signature of the certificate request and keys.  But the first option considered for our internal Windows CA took care of her.

  For replication of vSphere 6.1.1 that I had to turn off the virtual devices from replication via customer web vSphere vSphere and then put them back on.  Then connect to their URL of web management (port 5490) and make the reconnection to the vsphere on the connection tab, where he was invited to accept the new certificate.

  For AUVS I had to run the VMwareUpdateManagerUtility.exe under C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\Infrastructure\Update Manager and to the third option of re - register to vCenter, and then restart the service.

  Surprisingly, SRM sites remained paired although I've read that some people have trouble with it.  I'm on 6.0 update 2 and I think one of the questions was fixed in 6.0 Update 1 b.

• NetApp VSC v6.1 UI is missing from the Web Client v6.0u1

  I recently updated my vCenter Server 5.5 to v6.0u1 (2k12r2 for Windows with backend SLQ 2012). With that I installed a fresh instance of Virtual Console storage NetApp v6.1. All was working perfectly until I've restarted the vCenter after about 2 weeks of operation of the new version. After you restart the gui NetApp VSC and features were missing completely on the web client. The plugin has always shown as active in the webclient service is, however, no GUI. Strangely when I try to disable the plugin from the web client, it refreshes and remains only set as active.

  In heavy client, the icon was always present, however with the new version (6.1), no functionality can be achieved through this and you are just re-directed toward the Web Client of VMware. Backups were still underway at the scheduled time, even if the plugin was not visible in the Web Client.

  I tried the following:

  The re-registration plugin

  -Stop webclient VC services, stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data). Mainly located in the folder of vSphere-Client-serenity

  -Departure VC web customer service

  -Re-enrollment VSC with VC

  All the re - install

  -Stop services of VC

  -Stripping any trace of com.netapp* of the VMware folder of the directory (program files and program data)

  -Stop services VSC

  -Do a complete uninstall

  -Remove the VSC installation directory

  -Reboot server VSC to delete reg keys

  -Install the new copy of VSC 6.1

  Re-record with the VC Server

  The same question is observed. The plugin shows as being installed. The extension "com.netapp.nvpf.weblient" exists in the breast of the https://< vCenter > / mob. (see attached screenshot). The thick client still shows the plugin as permitted, as the web client. I still cannot see the interface user via the web client despite the plugin is installed and activated.

  Tear out my hair with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  

  Guys,

  An update on this issue, it could be useful to resolve any other issues similar and research...

  After 4months our case eventually made its way to the development of the web client team in VMware. The problem has been identified as a corrupted file in vCenter which is responsible for organizing the status "enabled/disabled' plugins customer web. Difficulty as follows:

  "C:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\data\vSphere Web Client\SerenityDB\serenity\ALL\client.package.states.

  The solution was: -.

  • Delete the file
  • Open customer vcentre, administration, plugins
  • Disable a random plugin (this forces the State file recreate)
  • Exit vcentre and then reopen
  • Plugins should now be visible
  • Customer goto plugins and re - turn that which has been previously disabled

  Good luck guys, it was a serious pain in the ass

• Single sign-on using the Web client

  Dear all,

  I improved our Vcenter server to 6.0 5.5. All right. After having access to the Web client the first time with IE11 I downloaded and installed the plugin for integration of customer. But whenever I start the web client, I can't see the link «Download the integration plugin» customer It seems that the login page does not detect the plugin of integration already installed. I checked it and the plugin for integration is really installed on the machine. It is the same when I use Firefox to access the web client. It's a machine Windows Pro 8.1

  Also the tick mark 'Use windows session authentication' is grayed out. I can connect with my windows login credentials.

  Is there a chance to fix it? I uninstalled the plugin for integration of client to version 5.5.

  Thank you

  Edy

  There are solutions to your problem, take a look at this post another: vSphere Client Web integration plugin Windows 8.1 problems

  Recently, I had this problem after upgrade a vCenter client version 6 and the solution was add the vCenter URL to the Local Intranet zone.

• Google chrome is soon dropped in favour of web client plug-ins, so you have to use Flash to use the web client

  I use google chrome version 43.0.2357.81, since flash is no-no, recently I got this message when I connect my Datacenter, "this site uses a (VMware Remote Console Plug-in) plugin that soon unsupported. Currently, there are two warnings.

  Because IE and firefox requires flash to run the web client, so if Google drops support, several data center would 'LOVE' to use flash on their mission critical infrastructure. A big thanks to VMware to listen to the customer feedback, site Web de VMware is great product 100% customer love, you must be the leader when it comes to supporting your customers.

• Error in the logs when a workflow running on the web client of vSphere WARN {} [TypeQualifierToDecoratorConverter] could not find the mapping for: class ch.dunes.model.type.qualifier.TQCallerParameter, [kind:null, name:contextualParameter, value: __NULL__

  I see this error:

  WARN {} [TypeQualifierToDecoratorConverter] could not find the mapping for: class ch.dunes.model.type.qualifier.TQCallerParameter, [kind:null, name:contextualParameter, value: __NULL__]

  pop up in newspapers of vCO a few times on a workflow when I try to run it from the web client of vSphere.  I wonder if it is somehow contributing to the time it takes to render the page.  We never saw it or someone has a clue about what might be the cause.  Newspapers are clean when I run the workflow of the vCO client.

  TQCallerParameter is a kind of decorator that is not exposed in the REST API. This warning message is safe and does not affect performance at all.

  You don't see it during execution of the workflow of vCO customer because the customer vCO does not use the REST API and therefore does not need to run conversions Decorator.

• SRM 5.8 does not display an icon in the Web Client

  I have a customer that has improved its server vCenter on the two sites of 5.5U1 to 5.5U2, a condition 5.8 SRM.

  After what seems to be a successful installation of the SRM on both sites, I see NOT the RS icon on each site.

  Tried to restart the VMware vCenter inventory Service

  Services of SRM server and embedded database are running

  I checked below and the ExtensionManager value, com.vmware.vcDr is actually present.

  

  Notes:

  1 SRM is installed on the respective vCenter servers using the embedded DB ProstgresSQL

  2 vcEnter also uses the embedded DB - there are only 3 hosts per site

  3. the total number of protected virtual machines expected to be 12

  Any ideas? I know it's a new product, but we are here.

  OK, this has been resolved. Here's the answer:

  Customer said to have upgraded the server vCenter Server to 5.5U2, which he did. But...

  1. he could not also upgrade the inventory Service

  2. has failed to upgrade the Web Client

  It is interesting that SRM 5.8 installation succeeded only after upgrading vCenter server, but the Installer do NOT also test the compatibility of the inventory also upgraded service.

  Note that there is no current documentation reflecting this anywhere I could find. Refers only to the version of vCenter server.

  Done deal.

• Very slow performance with the Web Client vSphere

  I'm testing the vSphere Web Client, but I find it excruciatingly slow - it takes almost 5 minutes just to open a session, and each click after that I take a good load of 30 seconds before the new page is completed. I think I spent a good 10 minutes to total just go to the screen where I could power on a virtual machine, which is something that can been done in less than a minute using the traditional desktop client.

  Horribly misconfigured web client somehow?

  The following changes improved the performance of the web client of my client. So far, no more hung tasks, navigation in the console of the web client has been improved. We are always monitoring well.

  Has increased the heap size JVM of vSphere Web Client to 3 GB. Used the following KB KB VMware: settings of the configuration in VMware vCenter Server 5.1 and 5.5 Tomcat server

• How is the web client vCenter/SSO

  In vSphere 5.1, when I type https://myhost.mycompany.com:9443 / vsphere client / in my browser, I immediately get a login screen. When I enter my credentials, all work great. I guess that in this example, the backend of the web client is listening on port 9443.

  -Customer web backend expects SSO to always be running on the same host as himself. I mean, it is possible to have a scenario where the backend of the web client is running on a different host than vCenter or SSO.

  -If at the time of installation, we have configured the SSO to listen to one port other than the default, do I have to configure the client web backend as well, or is it also get reconfigured.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you can install SSO separately from other components of vCenter: see http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-595E62F1-4D32-4A09-81F4-BE59B9217A51.html

  When you separate facilities you must install first SSO. When you subsequently install the WebClient service you must point to the SSO service by providing the URL of the SSO service. SSO listening on the 7444 default https port. If you have configured it differently (I don't know if this is possible) then you just need to change the port number in the URL of SSO.

  The WebClient service is listening on port 9443 default. See http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-51/topic/com.vmware.vsphere.install.doc/GUID-74AA3EF1-BDF3-4752-89DB-A522CDE30A66_copy.html

• Folders that I create in Thunderbird do not arise outside of Thunderbird (on the web client for my emails)

  Hello

  It's my first post because I can usually find supported using google, but I can't see any advice on this.

  Lets say I create a folder and name it 'sites' in Thunderbird, I created a rule for every email I get from stores online on their promotions go in this folder, so they do not distract the important emails, but I can view them later if I want.

  When I then log in my account outlook through their web client or if I check on my phone (which is where I'm mainly going through emails), the folders that I created in Tbird, do not show on my phone or the email provider webclient.

  I tried logging in and out of my web client and Tbird but records do not update, they remain in the Tbird but do not show in the web client or on my phone, which means that I can not read the messages held except when I home on Tbird.

  I appreciate your response.

  When your problem has been fixed, please mark the thread as "resolved".
  Thank you.
  Have a complete backup of your profile folder is strongly recommended in all cases.

• Why can't I see hosts/guests in my vCenter while I can see them in the Web Client vSphere?

  Hello

  IM new to VmWare\PowerCLI.  The goal is to get a list of VM guests in a vCenter via PowerCLI.  I can see 80 guests when I connect via the Web Client vSphere, but when I use the PowerCLI cmdlets, a Get-VMHost returns nothing.  I did the following:

  1 connect-VIServer the username-password IluvVmWare myserver.acme.com-acme\BigDog connects fine without error.

  2. $defaultviserver | Select * shows me the default connection properties.

  3 get-data center shows me 2 data centers; DC1 and DC2

  4 get-DataCenter DC1. Get-VMHost returns nothing

  5 get-VMHost returns nothing

  6 get-vmhost-Server myserver.acme.com returns nothing

  What I do wrong with PowerCLI so I can't get a dump of the hosts on the vCenter?  I can see them all in the vSphere Web Client, so permissions seem fine.

  It looks like that there.

  You must speak with the vCenter admin I guess.

  More simple would you give permissions to view read-only on the vCenter and let this authorization to spread.

  Out of curiosity, this shows the VMHostname?

  Get - VM | Select Name,@{N='VMHost'; E={$_. VMHost.Name}}

• Local storage shows as inactive in the web client

  Hello

  So I have a strange problem. On two of my guests, local storage shows as inactive in vCenter. I can access it without problem and there seems to be problems, but it is a bit concerning to see the alert whenever I am connected.

  

  However, when I checked in the thick client this error is not there. It is only in the web client for a reason any. I tried to restart the management agents, update storage adapters, and a new analysis of storage, but it has not changed.

  No idea what can be the cause and if it's something to worry about?

  Thank you!

  Please reboot the host and see again in the Web Client.

  BTW, what version of vSpehre for your environment?
